Likatonian Times: Darwin Baker rumoured to propose to the assembly the formation of a National Healthcare Service
September 23rd, 5363

Image

There has been talk that the leader of the DUP, Darwin Baker, is getting prepared to propose to the Assembly the formation of a National Health Service here in Likatonia. A proposal of this nature is most likely to fail due to the amount of conservatives ready to vote against the motion, as well as the unsure position of the LPP on the matter. The DUP, who are very much pro-universal healthcare and mentioned it often in their election broadcasts, actually proposed something similar nine years ago but all three of the other parties at the time voted against it.

How the DUP is going to try to get this major Healthcare reform plan passed is unknown especially since it hasn't even been a decade yet from when all the other parties opposed the first motion. The DUP will need to rely on at least 2 other parties to try to get it passed if these rumours are true. There have been some present alleged leaks of a shortly written, NHS framework which is to be used and extended on in future.

A National Health Service within Likatonia will be there to improve your health and wellbeing, supporting us to keep mentally and physically well, to get better when we are ill and, when we cannot fully recover, to stay as well as we can to the end of your lives. It should function at the limits of science and modern healthcare known in Terra – bringing the highest levels of human knowledge and skill to improve the health to all who reside in Likatonia. It helps your lives at times of basic human need, when care and compassion are what should matter most.

The NHS proposal is founded on a common set of united values that bind together the communities and people it will serve. It will strive to unite the four key components of the system; the Patient, the Nurse, the Doctor and Humanity. This charter establishes the principles and values of an NHS in Likatonia. It sets out rights to which patients, public and staff are entitled, and pledges which the NHS is committed to achieve, together with responsibilities, which the public, patients and staff owe to one another to ensure that an NHS operates effectively. The Secretary of State for Health, all potential NHS bodies, private and voluntary sector providers supporting potential NHS services, and local authorities in the exercise of their public health functions will be required by law to take account of this original framework in their decisions and actions.

The NHS will provide a comprehensive service, available to all and access to any future NHS services is based on clinical need, not an individual’s ability to pay. It is available to all irrespective of gender, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion, belief, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity or marital or civil partnership status. The service is designed to improve, prevent, diagnose and treat both physical and mental health problems with equal regard. It will have a duty to each and every individual that it serves and must respect their human rights. At the same time, it has a wider social duty to promote equality through the services it will provide and to pay particular attention to groups or sections of society where improvements in health and life expectancy are not keeping pace with the rest of the population. Access to NHS services should solely be based on a clinical need, not an individual’s ability to pay. NHS services will be free of charge, except in limited circumstances sanctioned by the National Assembly.

The NHS will be committed to providing best value, paid for with taxpayers money, it is committed to providing the most effective, fair and sustainable use of finite resources. Public funds for healthcare will be devoted solely to the benefit of the people that the NHS seeks to serve. We ensure that compassion is central to the care the NHS will provide and respond with humanity and kindness to each person’s pain, distress, anxiety or need to give comfort and relieve suffering. An NHS will find time for patients, their families and carers, as well as those they work alongside. We do not wait to be asked, because they care
- Alleged NHS framework set out.

Shortly after Darwin Baker became leader of the DUP, he made a speech to the Health and Welfare Delegation of Clovisport, aka the HWDC, on why he is an advocate for Universal Healthcare:

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Delegation, i stand before you today with a vision, a vision for a healthier and more prosperous future for Likatonia and all its citizens. Our nation has achieved many great feats in its history, but it is about time that we take a step towards ensuring the well-being of every single one of our citizens. I am here to tell you that i believe the implementation of a National Health Service will do our country wonders. Its a system that will not only transform the way healthcare is delivered but will also show the Democratic Unity Party's commitment to the fundamental principles of equality and justice in Likatonia, a nation which is known for its resilience, and its ability to rise above challenges. Yet, there is an issue that has plagued us for far too long, the issue of unequal access to healthcare. In our prosperous land, it is unconscionable that a significant portion of our people still struggles to afford the healthcare they need. This inequality not only hampers the potential of our citizens but also erodes the very essence of what it means to be a compassionate and fair society. Why are Abortions not paid for by government for the poor if it isn't a medical emergency, why are the victims of poor insurance policies the ones who have to pay hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions in order to keep alive their kid, mother or father? Why do we pay for the sex reassignment surgeries for low-income citizens but expect them to pay for any dental care or life threatening injuries? It makes no sense.

A National Health Service, my friends, is not just a policy proposal; it is a promise. It is a promise to our children, our elderly, our neighbours, and ourselves that healthcare isn't a privilege for the fortunate few. It is a commitment to provide every citizen with the same level of care, regardless of their income, background, or social status. Let me be clear – implementing a National Health Service will not be an easy task we the DUP know this struggle and all three of the main parties all shot down our last proposal. Now It will require dedication, hard work, and resources that the country hasn't seen in many a year. But I firmly believe that this is an investment in Likatonia's future that will pay dividends in the long run. A healthier population means a more productive workforce, a stronger economy, and a more united society. It means that no one will have to choose between their health and their financial stability.

I understand that there will be some of you that have concerns about the cost of such a system. But let me assure you that we have studied the models from other nations that have successfully implemented similar healthcare systems around Terra. The DUP have devised a sustainable funding plan that will ensure the stability and effectiveness of our National Health Service without burdening our citizens with excessive taxes. I also understand that some of you think this is a pipedream idea that will never be implemented because of the other parties opposition towards any system like this, well my friends i say to you that this is the reason you must vote for the Democratic Unity Party and for me as president in any General Election.

Likatonian Times: The Horrors of the Ordosocialist Workers Party and the National Sovereignty Act

Image

The nation of Valruzia is currently under the grip of the Ordosocialist Workers' Party who passed the infamously known National Sovereignty Act not to long ago. The Bill itself is full of such diabolical laws which include:

1. Mandatory Racial Registration: A Disturbing Mandate

Under the law, every citizen of Valruzia is now required to officially identify themselves as members of specific racial groups. The implementation of such a requirement has ignited concerns over personal privacy invasion, government overreach, and the potential for this data to be exploited for discriminatory purposes.

2. Citizenship Tied to Race, Religion, and Gender

One of the most contentious aspects of the National Sovereignty Act laws is the requirement that citizenship be granted based on race, religion, and gender. This stark departure from principles of equality and non-discrimination has drawn international condemnation from countries such as Luthori, Kundrati, Beiteynu and others. Critics argue that the Act will obviously perpetuate harmful divisions and prejudices.

3. Ban on Interracial Relationships: Love Criminalized

Perhaps one of the most distressing aspects of this law is the complete illegality of interracial relationships. Couples from different racial backgrounds now face harsh penalties, including imprisonment, for pursuing romantic involvement. This prohibition has been widely criticized as an egregious violation of personal freedom and human rights.

Other disgusting applications are valid within the Act long this nature, its rumoured that the Likatonian Government will likely speak out openly against our neighbour to the South soon.

Likatonian Times: The Leader of the DUP calls out the Ordosocialist terror attacks in Baltusia

Darwin Baker has posted on his social media pages that he fully condemns the terrorist attacks in Baltusia and Ordosocialism.

Today was a day of great tragedy for the people of Baltuisa and indeed for the whole world as well, innocent life was shed by an evil ideology and our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families who have been affected by this senseless and cowardly act of violence. Lukasz Konicki, the President of Valruzia has fed and grown the seeds of hatred within his own nation and now those seeds have over grown and infested its way into the bordering nations surrounding the heart of pure evil. This attack, like so many others, serves as a stark reminder that we must remain vigilant in the face of extremism and hatred within Terra. The individuals who perpetrate these acts seek to divide us, to instil fear, and to undermine the very foundations of our democracy and our way of life. But we will not be divided. We will stand united with our allies, and we will face this threat together. Our resolve is unwavering, and our commitment to the safety and security of our citizens is steadfast.

Likatonian Times: Mass of Refugees to enter Likatonia? Conflict on the border?

Image

A large amount of ethnic minorities are collecting near and around the Valruzia-Likatonia border due to the tyrannical Ordosocialist government in Valruzia which passed several laws discriminating against these minorities. They are seeking asylum from the extremist government that has taken hold of their homeland. Refugees are allowed inside Likatonia and can enter after passing security checks without much backlash as Likatonia has very relaxed Refugee laws. The Seleya community is on high alert as the situation continues to escalate, with thousands of displaced individuals hoping for safety and freedom beyond their oppressive regime.

Tukarali is already looking down the barrel of a refugee crisis but its unlikely that Likatonia and Lodamun will face the same amount of refugees wishing to cross the border into safety. Reports from aid organizations and eyewitnesses on the ground describe harrowing scenes of families trekking for hours upon hours, even days, often on foot, through perilous terrain to reach the borders of neighbouring countries. Many arrive exhausted and traumatized, having endured violence and persecution at the hands of the Ordosocialist regime's security forces. The refugees include men, women, and children, all with stories of hardship and fear to share.

The World Congress will have to address this issue head on soon.

Likatonian Times: Ordosocialism officially banned in Likatonia
November 29th, 5364
Image

Ordosocialism has been officially banned in Likatonia after the Democratic Unity Party proposed a banning order on the extremist group after the Baltusia terror attacks. Ordosocialism has consistently propagated hate speech, xenophobia, and intolerance within Valruzia. The parties in Likatonia overwhelmingly voice that Ordosocialism has no place in our diverse and inclusive society, their actions have the potential to incite violence and division among Likatonian citizens, and we cannot allow such threats to our national security to persist is the party lines as of the passing of this ban. If individuals or organisations operate, recruit or try to fundraise any Ordosocialist activities within the jurisdiction of Likatonia then they could now face small or large fines or even be sent to prison.

Many nations across Terra have either discussed or even passed legislation, banning the political organisation, nations like Likatonia, Baltusia, Kundrati and Tukarali have now banned the party.

The National Republican Party founded, a new dawn for Likatonia

Image

December 5547- After years of inactivity or incompetent governments, some people took matters into their own hands and created their party, with shared ideals and ideas for the Republic of Likatonia and National Republicans Party was born . There is an empty spot in the political landscape of the country wich is dragging Likatonia in a downwards spiral, people are losing faith in politics and in companies. Some experts are worried about a simular situation as Jakania and Baltusia, an incompetent governement is a feeding source for radicals. The NRP organised their first congress to welcome the NRP into the Likatonian political landscape and to let the people know the NRP is there for them. In this congress it is explained how the dynamics of the party will work, for so much we know is that the party congress will be organised every 5 years, where the chairman will be re-elected or a new one is chosen. A year before the party's congress, politicians who want to run for presidency have to apply, so debates and rally's can be organised, so they can get their support to get the votes and on the congress, there will be final debate before the members share there vote.

It comes to the point of the newly elected chairman, George O'Malley, who is looking very happy when he came to the stage to give his speech and let Likatonia know where this new party is going:
Thank you everyone of showing up today and for the trust that is given. Today is a great day for the Republic of Likatonia, when an active political party arises and takes matters into their hands. We will al go for a stronger, safer and united Likatonia. We need to make us all proud to be Likatonian again. We have to put Likatonia first, then Selaya and only then look on international matters or trade. To this day, i regret the way its going in Baltusia, once a thriving and strong nation, who had a superpower next to them and still grew into unknown heights, now it looks like a battlefield, it shows that even the mighty can fall. We have to ensure this can never happen to our great nation! It is my responsebility as chairman to be a good coach to his players and guide them to our goal. a stronger Likatonia! thank you!
he walks under a thunderous applause off stage.

The presidential candidates are also ready for either to put in their final speech before the members can cast there vote. The 2 candidates are Daniel Greenshaw, an 47 year old economist and Mason Baker, a 55 year old accountant.

Daniel Greenshaw goes first,

What a day! I want to thank our new chairman and founder George O'Malley for his words and efforts of establishing the unexpected creation of this party. I want to warn the people that if you elect me that you vote for reforming the republic, give more autonomy to the regions and who would become more of state on their own, because who better to organise some matters the people closest to it? We all need to get more companies in Likatonia and give our own people the courage to start companies, thats why we will lower taxes, so their is room for creating a campany and let it flouris. To ensure safety, we need to find ways to strengthen our military in a rapidly manner, there is to much going on, on Terra to take risks and do nothing and lastly we need to make big cuts in welfare to ensure our spending doesn't exceed our income, to much time has gone with the government paying and not receiving. Their is a time of giving and time of receiving, our previous governements seems to have forgotten about that. in due time their must be room to redefine the means to protect ourself in any means necessary. Vote for this reforms and i promise you, that Likatonia will succeed in becoming a stronger and safer nation!


Mason Baker goes up next,
I have worked all my life and i would even dare to say to not only cut in Welfare, but terminate it, who doesn't want to work, its fine by me, but its only natural that the governement doesnt pay youre unwillingless. We need to have a very low tax to attract companies and it is something, we can not afford right now. We need to sell nearly every governement asset to gain some money to invest in the economy again, that is my promise. More military and more in police, crime rate is going up the roof and politics aren't doing anything by it, that is a priority. Gun laws should be changed, so people can start to defend themself! Vote for a safer Likatonia first.
Lesser words, but messaged got across.

After the 2 speeches, people could cast their vote and have a drink, talk and or dance. A little while later votes are in and George O'Malley comes on stage to announce the presidencial candidate of 5548.
Daniel Greenshaw wins the presidential candidancy of 5548. Now he will make his administartion lay it in front of the official instancies and start campaigning for the presidential run.

A new day for the political landscape of Likatonia.
